HBO presents another original 90 minutes of programming with WOMEN AND MEN: STORIES OF SEDUCTION. In the inspired drama, three directors try their hands at adapting famous short stories from popular authors, resulting in a work that is as much a sincere tribute as it is a work of entertainment. Frederic Raphael's THE MAN IN THE BROOKS BROTHERS SUIT, based on a Mary McCarthy tale, finds Vicki (a brilliant Elizabeth McGovern) sitting inside the train compartment of Gerry Breen (Beau Bridges), a goofily sincere traveling salesman. Waking up the next morning, she's startled to discover that alcohol, and her own overall weakness, has led her to his bed. Ken Russell tackles Dorothy Parker's DUSK BEFORE FIREWORKS, in which Kit (Molly Ringwald) arrives at the lush apartment of Hobie (Peter Weller). Things begin to take a turn for the sour when the phone starts ringing incessantly, unleashing Kit's floodgates of jealousy. Finally, Tony Richardson adapts Ernest Hemingway's HILLS LIKE WHITE ELEPHANTS, which tells the somber story of Robert (James Woods) and Hadley (Melanie Griffith), two lovers who are stranded at a train station in 1925 Spain. When Hadley informs Robert that she is pregnant, he poses a suggestion that threatens to ruin their already fragile relationship. Featuring standout performances by its all-star cast, WOMEN AND MEN brings these three classic stories to sparkling life. [Less]
